Next notice that this Awareness is absolutely still, for it is
aware of the slightest movement of body or mind. We all know
that to be completely ‘aware’ of what is going on around us in a
busy environment we have to be completely still, just witnessing
the activity. The natural conclusion to be drawn is that Awareness
is always in a state of perfect peace because complete stillness
and total silence is perfect peace.
Notice that Awareness is omniscient, because every thought/
mental image/sensation appears in it, exists in it, is known by it,
and disappears back into it. Before any particular thought or sensation
there is effortless Awareness of ‘what is,’ and then when it
has gone there is still effortless Awareness of ‘what is.’
Finally notice that every thought/mental image/sensation is
‘seen’ by the ‘light’ of Awareness, i.e. Awareness is radiant. Now
we have reached the ‘Radiant, still, silent, omnipresent, omniscient,
ocean of effortless, choiceless, Awareness’ which, at the
deepest level, we all are! Thus the mind, an expression of the
beloved, has come to ‘know’ Awareness, the lover.
Therefore, the body/mind - itself an ephemeral manifestation
of consciousness in motion, the beloved – is a conduit through
which the lover can ‘know’ and love the beloved, and through
which the beloved can ‘know’ and love the lover. Thus the Absolute,
consciousness, the union of lover and beloved, can love
itself in both ‘modes’ – at rest or in motion – each ‘mode’ loving
the other.
Feeling you my love. Hearing you my love.
Smelling you my love. Tasting you my love.
Seeing you my love. Imagining you my love.
Thinking of you my love. Knowing you my love.
Loving you my love.
